I'm giving it a shot, and so far, so good. Flat $4.99/month with no
long-term or yearly discount-type contract.
Pros:
- Little, if any, reduction in download/upload speeds.
- IPv6 support.
- Doesn't leak DNS requests (as far as I can tell).
- A person has a decent number of servers/countries from which to choose.
- A person can quit/delete account at any time.
Cons:
- GRC's Shields Up! shows that most IPv4 ports are only closed, not
"stealthed".
- Amazon Prime videos won't play with the VPN enabled (along with a few
others which I don't have). Oh well....

good step. Just make sure your browser isn't leaking your IP.

WireGuard. Is that the one to which you refer?
